Viewpoint on former position of a castle above the market place
First mentioned in a document in 1269, the castle in Wehlen, together with its two outer castles, was 85 metres long and 16 metres wide.
Forfeited since 1547, the foundation walls of a tower and - facing the Wehlgrund - a bastion (the "drum") have been preserved.
Today, this place is above all a beautiful vantage point over the Elbe valley.
